Description:

Description: English: “As the sun sets on the Ethiopian Highlands, many animals sense the impending danger from predators that a shift in light conditions brings, scurrying to their protective sleeping sites. For some animals, like these geladas, the naturally steep descent to their sleeping roosts is too tempting to avoid coupling some acrobatic play with this swift retreat.”.
